This workshop runs in a GitHub Codespace — a cloud-hosted terminal with no local installs required. You will set one up in the next step.
Already comfortable managing Git and the GitHub CLI on your machine? You can take the optional Local Terminal Setup side quest, then rejoin the main workshop.
Open github.com/settings/copilot and confirm both show:
- Copilot CLI is enabled
- Some Models are available
This workshop uses GitHub Copilot end-to-end, so you do not need to configure any external provider API keys.
Tip
Agentic Workflows supports multiple agent and model providers (for example, Anthropic Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini), but this workshop uses GitHub Copilot so you can stay focused on workflow concepts.
